Answer:

Yes, amylase can be reused, and when fulfills its catalytic function, it is free to catalyze the breakdown of another starch molecule.

Explanation:

Amylase is an enzyme capable of catalyzing the breakdown of starch bonds, separating it into glucose molecules.

The enzymes, including amylase, have the property of being free and without structural alteration when catalyzing a reaction, to bind to the specific substrate and catalyze a new reaction.

Amylase is not consumed, unlike a reagent, so it can be reused in new reactions.

The Darwin's theory of evolution states that the organisms evolve through the process of the natural selection of the favorable genetic variations gradually over time. Through this process of the evolution, new species are developed over time. A single population may give rise to different species. These newly evolved species share similarities will each other as they have the same ancestor.

Hence, the given statement is 'true'.

What does it mean when scientists say that living organisms share a universal genetic code?

Lapatulllka [165]

When a scientist say's organisms have the same universal genetic code it mainly means that the "organisms use the same four nucleotide bases." Now <span>organic molecules that serve as the monomer units for forming the nucleic acid polymers.
